A 35 year old man died in Ratchaburi after trying to retrieve electrical equipment during heavy rain. Authorities found his lifeless body beside a large electrical box, with his left index finger on an outlet.

 

On May 24, Police Lieutenant Santiphol Nuuchua, an investigative officer at Bang Phae Police Station, in Ratchaburi, received a report about a man who had been electrocuted at a construction site of a factory in Bang Phae Subdistrict, Ratchaburi Province. Together with a medical examiner and a rescue team from the Ruam Jai Foundation, they proceeded to investigate.

 

At the scene, they discovered the body of a 35 year old man, a resident of Pha Nok Khao Subdistrict, Phu Kradueng District, Loei Province. He was lying face-up on a wet cement floor adjacent to a large electrical welding box, without wearing any shoes. An uncovered electrical outlet was placed on his chest, and his left index finger was positioned on the outlet with a burn mark.

Poor guy.

 

IMO the equipment should have been brought in before the rain or just  left until daylight and the rain had stopped.
